VARA Fokkers Live On

[Greg Hyde]

VARA Fokkers VH-FSQ & VH-FNU & VH-FNR are expected to remain in service until 03/2026 due to the inability of replacement aircraft (A320 or E190) to operate from specific mining strips.

Are they the ones to be operated by Alliance for VARA?

I read some time back (may still not to true) that QQ had plans to keep the Fokkers going until at least 2029.

FNC was sold to QQ last July.

Sorry, yes, but operating for VA.. though sitting AOG since March, question is more then what is happening rather than what will happen.
